01/26/2007 - Durham, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David McClure dropped in a layup just before time expired, as No. 10 Duke edged past 19th-ranked Clemson, 68-66, in a thrilling Atlantic Coast Conference matchup at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The Blue Devils (17-3, 4-2 ACC) led by 11 heading into the second half, but had to escape a late miscue to down Clemson (18-3, 4-3) for the 20th straight time.
A pair of free throws by Gerald Henderson put the Blue Devils ahead 66-61 with 12.7 seconds left in the game. Having already missed a pair of three-pointers leading up to Henderson's free throws, the Tigers elected to go for two as Duke allowed Vernon Hamilton to drive the lane for an easy basket.
Miscommunication by the Duke players caused Josh McRoberts to throw the resulting inbound away, and the turnover went right to Hamilton, who drilled a three to even things at 66-66 with 4.4 ticks on the clock.
The Blue Devils had enough time on the clock as Jon Scheyer took the inbounds pass to center court before spotting a wide open McClure in the lane, who was able to get off his layup before time expired.
McRoberts ended with 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Blue Devils, who won their fourth straight since suffering a road setback to Georgia Tech on January 10.
Greg Paulus and DeMarcus Nelson both ended with 13 points. Nelson also had eight rebounds. Scheyer had 12 points in the win, while McClure had eight, none more important than his final two.
Hamilton led Clemson with 21 points and five boards, while James Mays donated 13 points. C.K. Rivers chipped in with 12 points as the Tigers have lost three of four since winning their first 17 games to start the season.
Duke led by a healthy nine points midway through the second half, as a three- pointer by Paulus made it 53-44 with 10:08 remaining.
Clemson refused to quit and whittled their deficit down to 55-52 after a Hamilton layup with 6:53 left. Duke later upped its lead back to eight, 60-52, but eight straight by the Tigers evened the game with 3:31 on the clock.
The Blue Devils shot a healthy 48.4 percent from the floor in the first half and outrebounded Clemson 20-10 en route to taking a 36-25 lead at the half.
Down by one at 23-22, Henderson put Duke in front on a three-pointer with 4:56 left on the clock. Later, McRoberts rebounded his own miss and drained a jumper to extend the Blue Devils' lead to 29-23 with just over three minutes remaining.
Cliff Hammonds then knocked down a pair from the line with 2:38 to go, but those were the last points the Tigers would see in the half as Duke netted the final seven points.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
